Chapter 828: Empress, the Emperor summons
Emperor Qiwen was extremely angry.
He wanted to talk nicely, but Lao Qi's words and actions made him increasingly confused and unacceptable.
"If there were no distinction between high and low in this world, wouldn't the world be in chaos?"
“If there is no hierarchy, how can we manage these millions of people?”
"Are we really going to let them do whatever they want without any scruples?!"
Baili Moqing was silent.
He hasn't found the answer to this question yet, but he knows that world must exist!
He continued, "People are born with different levels of nobility and inferiority. What you said is clearly just fantasy!"
Baili Moqing knew that it would be difficult to change Emperor Qiwen's ideas. After all, the imperial hierarchy had been passed down from generation to generation!
This is equivalent to the saints of the past establishing a set of laws and putting a shackle on the sky of this world; it is difficult for mortals to break through those shackles! Let alone wanting to change a world that is deeply rooted, which is even more difficult than ascending to heaven!
It is precisely because he knows that he is not the person who can lead all people to such a world, so he cannot sit in that position!
"Seventh Brother, I can pass this throne to you. When you become the best in the world, you can do whatever you want!"
"I can write a confession of guilt, but I have only one condition: wait..."
Baili Moqing quickly interrupted him, "Father! I'm sorry, I can't agree to your conditions!"
Emperor Qiwen's expression changed again, "I haven't said it yet..."
"I know what you want to say, but I cannot agree to it!"
"Not only me, the Queen, Concubine Qing, but also my deceased elder and second brothers, they are also unable to agree!"
Emperor Qiwen stood up from his chair angrily, feeling furious but also deeply powerless.
Why is this Old Seven so stubborn?
"Is it not possible to exchange my position for it?!" He roared in a low voice, afraid that if his voice was a little louder, the people outside would hear something they shouldn't hear.
Baili Moqing stood there, staring at him calmly but firmly.
He had said before that he had never wanted that position!
Emperor Qiwen was furious and slammed the table next to him, smashing the thousand-year-old mahogany table to pieces!
"I've already taken a step back. Do you really have to be so aggressive?!"
"I don't have much time left to live. Can't you wait until I'm dead before announcing my sins to the world?!!"
Baili Moqing knew that this was what he thought.
Perhaps, over the years, perhaps on certain days, he had realized his mistakes, but he had been reluctant to admit them simply out of shame.
The pardon and ennoblement issued half a year ago might have been an edict written during a period of vulnerability on his part?
But he was too stubborn. Once his reputation as an emperor was affected, he would be like a stubborn old ox and refuse to turn back.
"Father, you know, if this is true, then everything I have done is meaningless!"
Only when the emperor is in power can the edict of repentance convince the people!
Moreover, today's matter has been made clear to all the officials. If no self-criticism edict is issued at this time, then this matter will most likely be left unresolved!
He and Shu He had spent so much effort to fully reveal this matter in front of all the officials. If they missed today, they would never have such an opportunity again in their lives!
Therefore, no matter what the reason, he could not let Emperor Qiwen escape like this!
"Father, if you're wrong, you should admit it! It doesn't matter if it's sooner or later! As long as your decisions about the future are correct, no one will dare to threaten you with this edict of apology!"
"On the contrary, the emperor who restored order is the most admirable emperor in history!!"
……
"Hehehehe..."
"Hahaha!!"
Emperor Qiwen first chuckled, then burst into laughter, as if he had heard some funny and stupid joke!
admiration?
Can an emperor who issued a self-criticism edict, or an emperor who plotted to kill his own son because he was afraid that his son would be better than him, be admired?
This old man, even his lying is so different from others!
Once he issues the edict of repentance, he will be infamous for eternity and will become the most criticized target among all the emperors in the history of Tianqi!
Baili Moqing lowered his eyes slightly, his expression remained calm and composed, making it impossible to tell what was going on in his heart.
He doesn't care about this too much, he just wants justice!
Emperor Qiwen knew that he could not give in.
"You go!"
He spoke softly, his voice slightly hoarse and dry, like dead wood and ashes, without a trace of life.
"Father, this is a confession of guilt..."
"roll!!"
Baili Moqing looked at him, his eyes flashing. He lowered his head and replied, "Father is a man of great wisdom. I believe that you will figure it out! I will be waiting for you outside the palace."
Emperor Qiwen looked at the slender, straight, firm and hard back, and felt a sense of "desolation" that rushed from the soles of his feet to the top of his head, and then spread to his limbs and bones, making him feel extremely cold and desperate.
He had been scheming and selfish all his life, but he never expected that in the end he would be forced into a desperate situation by his own son!
If he had known this would happen, he shouldn't have let him return to Beijing, he should have even...
……
After Baili Moqing came out of the hall, everyone's eyes were fixed on him, as if they wanted to get the final answer to what happened today from him.
However, when they saw him standing quietly outside the palace, they knew that the emperor had not yet made a final decision.
After Baili Moqing came out, Liu Qin quietly walked to the door of the hall and waited.
Waiting is the most painful thing, especially under tremendous pressure, it becomes even more unbearable.
The heavy rain continued, and the crackling sound of the rain was like an endless surging wave, beating against everyone's fragile nerves, making people's hearts sink endlessly, as if falling into a bottomless abyss.
After an unknown amount of time, there was finally movement coming from the main hall.
It was Liu Qin. He walked up to the Queen and whispered, "Your Majesty, the Emperor summons you."
Shu He showed worry on his face and subconsciously took a step forward.
The queen frowned slightly, turned to look at Shu He, and then entered the hall.
Yang Cai wanted to follow him in, but Liu Qin stopped him, "The emperor said that only the empress can be seen."
